nhs Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 Silver grille trim rather than red makes it look more like a Jetta than a GTI Curious that he hasn't cut out the GTi badge mount - simple to do given the pain to change red to silver! Wheels are a personal choice - different but smart What's the "Valentine" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oxfordlad Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 Sorry, but I think it looks terrible!!! Spoiled!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhs Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 It certainly doesn't look hugely like a Mark V GTI But it does command a certain (non-GTI) presence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtiveedubber Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 I hate the wheels, but the silver pain isnt bad. I prefer the red though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy Posted April 30, 2006 Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 That nearly looks as bad as the poor Mk1 GTI VWuk have done the same too. Ugly gold wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRobin Posted April 30, 2006 Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 Now here's a thought - What if VW give an Anni GTI gold BBS alloys ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just love the Monza style on the GTI. Would anyone be up for 19" monza's - for me they would be the ultimate wheel and look fantastic coupled with uprated discs - drilled perhaps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRobin Posted April 30, 2006 Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 I agree with you, TT - Gold BBS not for me either but I wouldn't be surprised if VW do it for an Anni version. Monza 19s ? Wow! Might be a bit impractical though to keep from damage. I think the Monzas look big enough as 18s.....But I'm doubtless on record as saying the same about 17s once upon a time! I've seen pics of a modded Golf Mk5 (not GTI) on 20s and it looked horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mixit Posted April 30, 2006 Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 Come on guys, sometimes you can all be a bit too pure. I quite like the wheels, especially on a black car. They remind me of the old JPS racing days. <font color="red"> Red </font> 'll remember them If I remember right Snoopy, weren't the gold wheels on the Mk1 fitted to Llahsa Green? Now they did look bad With you all the way on the silver grille though, a definate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oli Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 I guess you guys already know my answer. I love the look of this car, would be even better if the wheels were silver, the gold it a bit OTT. I was going to loose the GTI badge of the front of my Golf when I purchased it, but having had the VW badge colour coded in pearl black, it really makes the GTI 'stick' out. Long live euro look!!!!! or american look!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtiveedubber Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 Do you have a pic of your colour coded VW badge? Or any photo's of your car on the new wheels? Sorry if i have posted them already, i must have missed them if you had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks nasty and with that body kit will suffer frontend lift about about 80mph. The original front spoiler makes a difference i know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
